SOUNDSTREAM 15" SPLX compared to the 15" RE SX?

[Rza 10+ year member]

How does it compare? Im looking at possibly buying one or the other for SPL competitions. I can get wither for about the same price, but never heard the SPLX how does it compare to the SX in SPL above, below, equal?

Well I've heard from numerous people the trantula step below the splx is about on par with and sx so I'm guessing an splx will kill it in spl but I'm also guessing the sq is down the toliet with those subs.

well SQ isnt an issue as this is for competition only.

Can anyone confirm this?

between the two, I'd do the RE, not too fond of papercones...

Well let say can someone recommend a sub for SPL that will cost me less that $260 shipped in the US? Atleast as good as the SX if not better. Im trying to get as loud as I can staying under 18" so i can stay in a specific trunk class.

I said better than an SX in SPL sorry but an L7 wouldnt qualify for that.

I know an SX will //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif, Ive killed L7s with subs that got owned by a SX //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif was nothing personal just want something that can beat an SX for the price if there is something.

I'd beg to differ...in any installation, I disagree. In the right setup, you can see potential of any driver beating another one...

This little experience means absolutely nothing...... Install dependent. I have no doubt in my mind that my l7 15 can hold its own against the sx, and be just as loud, or louder.

yeah of course if a XXX is running on 1 coil an L7 might beat it, but majority of times with X car running both subs with a professional making the boxes SX would most likey beat the L7 the vast majority of the time. No offense to you but Ive seen you make this statement several times and it is just to vague to have any meaning to it. cause yeah alot of factors can make the biggest junker sub beat a world class competition sub but optimum condidtions a L7 is not gonna beat a solo X and in the same instance it wont beat an SX. Im looking to see if there are any subs I dont have on hands knowledge with that may be better in general for SPL than an SX in the same pricerange. I messed up in replying to VOA_Nightmare and lost out on the RFL so im looking at other options.

and have you tried? Ive seen plenty of L7s go against SXs and have yet seen one come within 3dB and this is in competition. They couldnt of all had shitty boxes. Thats where Im coming from on why I dont want an L7 Im not just speaking on something i havent heard.
